Pistyll y Llyn is one of the tallest waterfalls in Wales. It is a horsetail type set of falls which are located in the Cambrian Mountains about 2 miles walk from Glaspwll in Powys, Wales to the north.
The waterfall is formed where the River Llyfnant falls from Llyn Penrhaeadr for approximately 160 metres into Cwm Rhaeadr in two waterfalls and a series of cascades. The tallest waterfall is a single horsetail drop of about 91 meters. It is slow flowing and only has a small amount of water pouring over it on the two occasions I have been here, but I can imagine in times of heavy rain fall it could be quite a sight. To the south are a series of lakes and if interested there are also a number of geocaches nearby to.
